:45:00
of the tenure committee.
:45:01
I was shocked and I was hurt.
:45:04
Now...
:45:06
I don't mean to subject you
to my weak sensibilities.
:45:10
All right.
Finally, I did not understand.
:45:13
And then I thought...
:45:15
is it not always
at those points...
:45:17
at which we reckon
ourselves unassailable...
:45:18
that we are most vulnerable?
:45:28
Yes. All right.
:45:34
You find me pedantic.
Yes, I am.
:45:37
By nature, by birth,
by profession.
:45:40
I don't know. I'm always
looking for a paradigm.
:45:43
I don't know
what a paradigm is.
:45:45
It's a model.
:45:47
Then why can't you use
that word?
:45:51
If it is important to you, yes.
:45:53
I was looking for a model.
:45:55
To continue,
I feel that one point...
:45:59
One second!
:46:01
Upon which I am unassailable...
:46:02
is my unflinching concern
for my students' dignity.
:46:06
I have asked you here
in a spirit of investigation...
:46:09
to ask you... to ask...
:46:12
what have I done to you?
:46:15
And, I suppose,
how can I make amends?
:46:19
Can we not settle this now?
:46:21
It's pointless, really.
And I want to know...
:46:23
What you can do
to force me to retract.
:46:25
That is not what I meant at all.
:46:26
To bribe me,
to convince me to retract.
:46:29
That is not what I meant at all.
:46:30
I think you know that it is not.
:46:32
That is not what I know.
I wish I...
:46:34
You wish what?
:46:35
No. You said
what amends you can make...
:46:37
to force me to retract.
:46:39
That is not what I said.
:46:40
I have my notes.
:46:41
Look. Look...
:46:44
The stoics say...
:46:46
The stoics?
:46:48
The stoical philosophers say...
:46:49
if you remove the phrase,
"I have been injured"...
:46:52
you have removed the injury.
:46:54
Now, think.
I know you're upset.
:46:57
Just tell me, literally...
:46:59
what wrong have I done you?
